This from Larry Kummer

I've been reading Nature and Nature Climate Change for a decade (Nature longer). The Climate Emergency is always getting worse. Even worse than expected. There are few contrary articles, and those are ignored (example below). Yet in 2020 almost nothing has changed. The world is a little warmer. A bit less winter ice in the Arctic ocean. Crop yields continue to increase. The area of land is unchanged.

When pointing this out, I feel like the child in the Emperor's New Clothes (it's more of a chorus). Why isn't this obvious, and a major factor in the discussion?

An example of a contra-doomster paper quite ignored: "Earth's surface water change over the past 30 years", NCC, September 2016. Net increase of 58 km2 in land area from 1985 - 2015. At least this w/b mentioned in the stories describing how the world is flooding right now. But it's contra to the narrative, and so ignored. Only 2695 accesses and 134 Citations. For a climate scientist, writing doomster papers is the fast track to success.
